Fresh Apple Compote (Peeled)

A light, fruity summer drink that's gentle enough for kids. Fresh-fruit compote is wonderful—wholesome and thirst-quenching, and it's a lifesaver when there are little ones in the house. My 3-year-old can't get enough of apple or pear compote. Here's how I make it, with a mix of apples and pears.

  • Depending on the variety, you can peel the apples first or leave the skins on. Cut them into 6–8 pieces and core them. To keep the apples from browning, drop them into cold water with a little lemon juice. Put the sugar in a saucepan and pour in hot water, then add the cut apples and simmer over low heat for 10–15 minutes, until the fruit is soft. Once it's done, stir in cinnamon or some orange or lemon zest. I make pear compote the same way, just with less sugar—how much depends on how sweet the pears are—simmering for 10–15 minutes. With very ripe apples or pears, I skip the boiling altogether: I just add the fruit to the boiling syrup and take it off the heat. Let the compote cool and serve it in cups or small bowls.
